      Facile means easy (literally in French) but kind of like easy because you're ignoring complexity. Like if someone says racism will stop if we overthrow capitalist production because capitalist production requires racism, that's a sorta facile argument because it presents something very complex and interdependent as neat and easily understandable and solvable.

        I've made the mistake of engaging in YT comments a few times and while nobody used those exact words, there same sentiment was stated.
